“What do you want for dinner?”: need anticipation and the design of proactive technologies for the home (2018)
Journal Article
Hyland, L., Crabtree, A., Fischer, J. E., Colley, J., & Fuentes, C. (in press). “What do you want for dinner?”: need anticipation and the design of proactive technologies for the home. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10606-018-9314-4

This paper examines ‘the routine shop’ as part of a project that is exploring automation and autonomy in the Internet of Things. In particular we explicate the ‘work’ involved in anticipating need using an ethnomethodological analysis that makes visi...

The ludic takes work (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Koutsouras, P., Martindale, S., & Crabtree, A. (2017, August). The ludic takes work. Presented at The 15th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work

Games that revolve around user-generated content have been explored mainly from a ludic perspective, leaving the work practices that are entailed in content production underexplored. What we argue in this paper is that there is an underlying economy... Read More about The ludic takes work.
